Vowel Grouping

Vowel sequences are often broken into separate syllables, but diphthongs remain within a single syllable.

  • The double 'r' indicates a lengthened vowel sound, influencing syllable weight.
  • Nynorsk allows for both 'k' and 'sk' before 'u', so the pronunciation of 'konkurranse' is relatively stable.
